    I was wondering what everyones belief was on if Portland gets agressive immeadiately and contacts a free agent the 1st minute they can tonight and if so who do you think it will be? The obvious answer would be Hedo since everyone links him to us and its seems as if other teams have cooled on him. We might be able to get him cheaper then the contract that he is looking for since he doesnt have nearly as many options (Sac is out of the running).

    You know I thought it was 9 pacific time as well since it was based off the east coast time but I just read an article that said free agents couldn;t be contacted till 10 pacific time. I guess I should of known better then to trust shotty info.

    Ron Artest IMO. Show him the love then move on to dealing for Hinrich. Plan B contact PHX about Steve Nash. Plan C contact New York about Nate Robinson.

    Don't want Ron Artest. He's more of an offensive killer than McMillan's offense. McMillan's Offense + Ron Artest = Oh boy......just kill me now.

    I don't agree. The only reason Ron was forcing it in the playoffs is because all their other options were gone. Everybody was forced to take on roles they were not used to playing.

    I wonder if it's a Jerry Maguire/Bob Sugar situation...

    KP: "Hey Jason! It's great to talk to you about how great you'd fit as our PG. I'm gonna let you talk contract numbers with my money man, Tom Penn--Hey David Lee! We know you're unappreciated in NY and everyone keeps talking about LBJ. We want you in our camp...you want to talk to the owner? Here you go--Hey Ramon! You've been on my mind since 2007, baby. What's it going to take for MIL not to match? We'll build you in as one of our Big 4...here's our ad department right now with some ideas they've lined up for you.

    Every other GM: "I keep getting busy signals. Is this the right number?"
